In Japan, There had a Japanese music group called "Yoasobi", which means "playing at night". It was compose by Ayase, who is a producer and Ikura is a singer of the group. Their songs had based on some short stories which is in the monogatary.com and manga. So, this book is introduce 4 short stories like "Thanatosu no Yuuwaku"(タナトスの誘惑) and "Yume no Shizuki to Hoshi no Hana"(夢の雫と星の花) Those short stories were relate to "Racing into the night"(夜に駆ける) and "Ano Yume o Nazotte"(あの夢をなぞって) respectively. I like the "Yume no Shizuki to Hoshi no Hana" most. This story is about the 2 familes which can anticipate the future, but if they don't follow the future of the anticipate, they will lost their 'power'. Then, one girl, who had the 'power', knew that she will join a religious festival and fall in love to a boy in next two weeks, However, the boy also had the 'power'. When he is young, he already knows that the girl like him. So, the story is around their school and summer holiday life. I like this story most because the plot was amazing. First, the story used the girl's vision. Then, they use the boy's vision. I think it is interesting.

I thought that this book was very interesting as these stories were the fuel for some of the most famous songs sung by the music duet, YOASOBI. All 5 love stories in this book were very descriptive and had many aspects of romance and love. Although all of the stories came in different forms, all of the stories managed to convey loss in some form, to illustrate the complexity of love. After reading each story, I listened to the song, based on that story. By listening to the song very carefully, I noticed that the song was directly based on the story I was just reading, which gave the song more meaning than ever before. There were not as many characters on a page, which made it easy to read and progress throughout the book. Although some of the words were hard to understand, I really recommend this book to anyone who likes listening to YOASOBI and anyone interested in the making and the story behind these songs.
